Welcome
About CGI Detroit
“For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
We Hope to See You Soon!
Welcome to the Church of God International, Detroit. We are a Kingdom-focused congregation that observes the seventh-day Sabbath and the Biblical Holy Days as outlined in Scripture. The mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. We believe that message must start in the home if you want to transform society. From weekly Sabbath
school lessons for the youth to church picnics, we aim to teach and encourage entire families through the Word of God.
Weekly Sabbath services begin each Saturday at 1:00 pm at the Crossroads Building in Southfield, Michigan. We welcome you to come and fellowship with us. If you would like to know more about our congregation, please feel free to contact us.
We believe…
. . . God is the eternal, all-powerful, supreme creator and sustainer of the entire universe. God is one, composed of spirit and of a family presently consisting of God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son. The Holy Spirit is God’s essence, power, mind, spiritual extension, and presence. Upon repentance and faith, God “begets” us with His Spirit into the God family.
Is. 44:6; John 1:12–13; Heb. 1:1-2; 1 John 3:1–2; Acts 2:38; Eph. 1:13-14
. . . the whole Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the divinely inspired Word of God. The Word of God is to be used for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. It is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This includes but is not limited to; observance of God’s seventh-day Sabbath, God’s Annual Holy Days (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, and the Eighth Day), and God’s dietary laws of clean and unclean meats.
2 Tim. 3:16–17; Deut. 4:2; John 17:17; Lev. 23; Lev. 11
. . . God forgives sin upon repentance (the act of acknowledging one’s sins, and resolving to fully obey God) of the individual who accepts the shed blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ as payment in full for the penalty of one’s sins. Salvation is a freely given gift from God through grace and is a promise of eternal life. Upon death, we do not ascend to heaven but await to be resurrected as spirit-composed saints in the Kingdom of God.
Acts 2:38; Rom. 6:23; John 3:13-15; Rev. 20:4-6
. . . the church is the spiritual body of Christ, a group of persons called out by God. The church is comprised of baptized, Spirit-led individuals who are scattered around the world. The church has a mandate to continue with the witness and message of Jesus Christ initiated through His life, teachings, and sacrifice for every person and all nations. This will be accomplished by the resources available to the “body of Christ” and furthered through the spiritual gifts bestowed by our Heavenly Father.
1 Cor. 12:12-14; Matt. 28:19–20; Luke 4:18–19; Acts 1:7–8
